Where are the official Arizona cottage food rules?

Arizona Department of Health Services publishes them. Start at the Arizona cottage food program. Use the statute compilation when you need the code text.

Can I sell cottage food at a farmers market in Arizona?

Often yes, if the food is on the state's allowed list and you meet the label and sales rules. The market can still require its own application. Confirm both.

Is this legal advice?

No. This page was reviewed in October 2026 and points you to the state sources. If a sales cap or food list here disagrees with the state page, use the state page.

What the Arizona law decides

Arizona cottage food program answers these points. The state page is the current list. A county health department or a farmers market can add a form, a fee, or a product ban.

Which foods are allowed, and which foods need refrigeration or a pH test
The current sales cap, or whether the state has removed it
Where you can sell: farmers markets, online orders, shipping, and stores
The label, including allergens and any home-kitchen statement
Registration, a food-handler class, or a county permit

Sell it only after the rule checks out

A cottage food page is market research, not a promise of income. Price the product, find a market in Arizona, and sell one batch before you buy equipment.
